Re: What Bourbon Did You Purchase Today? Fall 2013

Seriously though, if I were local I'd probably head over around 2am with a few movies on an iPad and a 200ml bottle of hooch (or 2) and wait it out. I spent 26 hours in a Wal-Mart for a PS3 in 2006. This couldn't be worse than that.

The longest I've ever waited on line for anything, excluding DisneyWorld as a child, was 4 hours for Shakespeare in the Park tickets to see Romeo and Juliet with my hot French neighbor. We ended up dating for awhile, so she was worth it, but I hate lines, and I've got a bunker. Being on a waiting list is bad enough, I prefer to just get handed a bottle at my local if they get one in, because they know I'll appreciate it like crazy. 26 hours is true fortitude.

It was a silly and childish thing to do, but it was actually kind of fun. I made friends with the 2-3 people on either side of me, and we were in a 24-hour store so we had everything we needed. We just took turns holding each others space and would go get food, or drinks, or use the restroom. Everybody had books, or Nintendo DS (or whatever it was at the time) and we'd swap them around. On the whole it was less aggravating than a cross-country flight. And we didn't even have smart phones and tablets. Waiting 6 or 8 hours with some hooch and a few HD movies / videogames doesn't sound crazy to me at all. Unnecessary? Sure, nobody NEEDS to do it. But sometimes I like doing silly, childish, and unnecessary things. If I lived in Northern KY this might be one of them.
